Why Aroostook County?

Aroostook County offers a quieter lifestyle, affordable living, and a genuine sense of connection — both with nature and with your neighbors. Residents enjoy year-round outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, and ATV trail riding, with ice fishing adding to the winter fun.

This region is also home to unique veterinary opportunities, such as involvement in the renowned Can-Am Crown sled dog races. The 250-mile race serves as a qualifier for the Iditarod, offering hands-on experience in high-performance working dog care and sports medicine that few locations can match.
